"Fight with a Young Bull" is one of the renowned tapestry cartoons by Francisco de Goya. Displayed in the Museo del Prado, the piece is an example of Goya's contributions to Romanticism. This artwork, crafted in oil on canvas between 1775 and 1792, was designed for the Royal Tapestry Factory of Santa Barbara near Madrid, Spain. The painting depicts a vigorous scene of a bullfight, which corresponds to popular and rural themes, making it a fine example of genre painting. It resonates with the tastes of King Charles III and the princes Charles of Bourbon and Maria Luisa of Parma.
